With his annual injuries, For Stanton to get to 500 HRs he’ll have to play at least another 4-5 seasons. I doubt that happens but if it does and he crosses 500 HRs..he probably makes the Hall.
I find it difficult to believe that this guys changeup is so filthy that it looked anything like a strike but ended up way outside. Vlad was just guessing that he was going to get something in the zone. Terrible approach
There’s no sign to give that says a guy has to steal on a pitch unless it’s a planned double steal. The green light might hav been on but it’s still on the player to decide whether to run or not.
Vlads swing is absolutely broken up in the zone. I cannot fathom how a guy hits so many balls that bounce in the dirt in front of home plate on pitches at the top off the zone
That’s all on KK, I don’t get he felt the need to try and steal in that spot…1st and 3rd with none out and 1,2,3 coming up. That’s just a dumb thing to try at the best of time let alone against a lefty when you don’t have a good lead
